Wednesday, May 27th, 2015Just Mention the War On Drugs
Ask any 10-year American kid if it would be harder for him to buy a pint of liquor or a small bag of weed and he’ll laugh at you too. Legislating morality is always a losing proposition for the government. The most obvious examples are Prohibition and the War on Drugs – oh wait, I forgot gambling, pornography, and prostitution – voluntary “crimes” where the “victims” are the same people who commit the crimes. And saving us from drug deaths?
The number of drug deaths in the US in a typical year:
- Tobacco kills about 390,000 people.
- Alcohol kills about 80,000.
- Sidestream smoke from tobacco kills about 50,000.
- Cocaine kills about 2,200.
- Heroin kills about 2,000.
- Aspirin kills about 2,000.
- Marijuana kills 0. There has never been a recorded death due to pot ever. And how much real crime have we caused trying to enforce the laws against it?
